Author Topic: Should we have a Starter Pack?  (Read 2737 times)

So,I thought that I could make a mapper`s starter pack,which contains textures,easy-to-edit maps(i.e Flatlands),basic interiors,skyboxes etc. ,but I just wonder do we need it?

I also need some stuff for it,so if can give something away (For example,a interior you made but aren`t gonna use it,or texture you want to share),post it here with link.
I will gather everything together(if it is needed) and later post it here.

NOTE:I would like to see picture of your giveaway(s).

I think this would help new mappers,since people could get quality textures etc.from this pack.
And,of course,you will get credit for giveaway(s).

Feel free to move to other section,just thought this is the right one.

I have suggested this before, Everybody ignored it.


You forgot these:



I can't believe no one has made a dev texture map yet.

That grass one has a horrible mark through it

Hmm. I think there's like 5 of them. There's 2 interior ones, a terrain one with precipitation and 2 blank ones.

I should make one.

That grass one has a horrible mark through it

Yeah, because it's a mowed pattern, its supposed to be there.

What is really horrible about it is the contrast between the light green and the dark green. If you tile it, it makes you either sick, dizzy, or both at the same time.

Ok,looks like we should have one,but because I will be gone for a week,I cant publish (I wouldn`t, though,I dont have so much stuff yet) it. When I come back,surprise me with this topic filled with giveaways.

Anyone have a selection of deciduous tree models/textures? or know where to find them?  (looking for dts preferably).

As for my own offering...

All I can say is that for basic textures that tile well, just take a plain color in Paint.net or photoshop and use the noise filter to add detail too it. The repetition of the tiles is almost impossible to detect and can be used for a variety of purposes.

i think we should and there should be a read me tutorial on making maps that comes with the pack

Ok,here is a few textures I found,I renamed them for simplicity.They look like this:





Also planning a simple stone bridge interior.In my opinion,we need a skybox or two.

Also,thanks to everyone who has donated.
